This plan outlines and prices a 20-year strategy for protecting the quality of ground and surface waters. In meeting the requirements of Section 208 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, the plan considers all significant pollution sources including municipal and industrial discharge, agricultural runoff, urban stormwater runoff, mining activities, construction activities, natural salt water intrusion, and residual wastes such as water and wastewater treatment sludges.

This report examines the production and treatment of wastewater in the community.

Summarizes environmental factors related to the aquatic ecology of Kansas.

This report develops a series of management alternatives that will provide increasing levels of control of potential water pollution from mineral activities. These levels of control are represented by various management options. The final decision for adoption of appropriate options is left to the public review and legislative processes.

In this report construction erosion is approached from a regional analysis. The material divisions represent similar soil associations as mapped by the Kansas Geological Survey.

Three reports are collected in the publication. They examine the production and treatment of wastewater in the community, industry, and agriculture.

Discusses various topics in land disposal of waste and its potential effects on groundwater quality.

Report examines activities associated with three construction classifications. Each classification is evaluated by four alternative levels of treatment aimed at reducing soil-loss from construction sites.

Presents a discussion of various areas of water quality and then outlines recommendations for treatment, management and implementation.

The impacts of the various proposed 208 management plans will be reflected in the relative improvement in the quality of the state's water resources. This report attempts to predict these impacts through a review of the existing water quality conditions and then through a detailed analysis of the improvement realized through the implementation of the 208 proposals.
